Description
The process of brewing beer hasn’t changed much since we started back in 1777. And neither has our unique approach to crafting characterful beer. But our equipment most certainly has.

Our state-of-the-art, independent, family-owned brewery now stands proudly alongside our old brewery on the banks of the River Stour in Blandford, Dorset. Using the finest ingredients and over 240 years of expertise, our brewers create beer that brims with flavour.

Bottle, thx to fonefan. It pours a clear, golden body with a quite small white head. Some licorice-like aromas combined with a malty background. Fennel, toffee and some butterscotch in the flavor. Medium body. It finishes with a malty sweetness, a licorice touch, fruityness and some bitterness. An unusual flavor profile still provides good drinkability, but it fails to excite or impress. Rating: 5-3-5-3-11-2.7. (080822)

Bottle. A clear, copper beer topped by a small, off-white head. Fruity nose with licorice, tending towards some caffeine energy drink. Licorice, candy, some sweetness and a little bitterness in the mouth, medium to full-bodied. Quite effervescent. I’m not really sure about this one, it’s both nice and not, maybe because it feels a bit artificial. (090430)

Bottle. A clear, golden pour leaves a quite small, off-white head. Fennel, toffee and some raspberry in the aroma, quite unusual but far from a bad blend. Flavors of anise, caramel and a touch of berries on a biscuity background. Biscuity, berry-like finish. A rather special beer, but quite nice. Not a beer I could down by the numbers, but maybe it suits some food. (080822)

Cask (Ship and Shovell,London) - Copper brown in colour. Fruity aroma with a hint of fruit cake. Rich and fruity taste with moderate bitterness. Drinkable but could have more flavour.

Bottled. An amber beer with a lazing light tan head. The aroma is sweet malty with notes of caramel, spices, and blueberries. The flavor is very sweet with strong notes of berries - especially blueberries, leading to a dry toffee finish. The berry note lingers in the mouth. Thanks to fonefan and Brugmansia for sharing.

50 cL clear bottle. Pours clear and golden orange with a lacing white head. Fruity/peachy into a more berry like aroma. Initial sweet berry fruity with an abrupt aspertam like stop of the sweetness, yet lasting fruity flavoured. Lingering fruity/berry finish. Blueberry again perhaps, yet lable says raspberry.
